[T3] Camber Problems

[Brent Bottolfson]

I can spin the upper ball joint on the right side all the way around and 
it doesn't really change the camber at all. The left side is at about 1* 
positive but the right won't change from about 2.5* positive no matter 
what I do.

The car is in rolling pan status, I've tried on jackstands (level) and 
with wheels on. No difference.

I know the body should be on and loaded per Bentley, but I just wanted 
to get it close to equal between the two sides.  Seems like I could make 
a coarse adjustment now to get them close and then have it properly 
aligned and camber set when it's all back together.

Note that I had some damage to the upper beam bearings on the left 
(opposite) side with the original beam, and I re-used the original 
spindles and control arms with the replacement beam. I really haven't 
messed with the left side camber as it is in spec.  Should I be 
concerned about a bent spindle or control arm?  Maybe I should have 
swapped them out too.

Thanks.
Brent
